I've used that before on my bullbar. It's not that tough, had stone chips all over it within a couple of weeks.
Powder coating is the best for wheels.

[da SLUG man]

i'd say powder coating... you can get some great colours these days...

Anyone got any idea on costs for powdercoating?

Also, i assume you have to have your tyres off the rims ?

There's a place in Bridgend that charge 60 quid per wheel and you can have any colour, even chrome effect finish. They remove, refit and balance the tyres too.

A bit far for you though I guess!
